I want to change the system profile
Would I change the /etc/profile file or is there another version of this that I should change?
Thanks!

Re: I want to change the system profile
/etc/profile is fine
Make a copy first in case of errors

Re: I want to change the system profile
Yes, you can make the changes to /etc/profile. This is the global profile for all Bourne shell user (/usr/bin/sh).
For C shell users, you need to make the changes in /etc/csh.login (global profile)
/$user_home/.profile is the local profile for each user.
HTH,

Re: I want to change the system profile
to set a standard profile for all user, you should edit /etc/profile and add the env over there. this file is executed for all the users. you may add some env variables to /etc/cshrc if you have users logging in using "c shell".
hope this helps.

Re: I want to change the system profile
/etc/profile is the way to go.
But if possible stick with the ~user/.profile (users homedir).
